Document library
Save time on paperwork by downloading templates from our library, with over 700 templates to help you manage your business.
Our easy-to-use building and construction contract and quotation templates are written in clear, everyday language and set out what’s been agreed – from scope of work to timescales and payment terms – so there’s no confusion between the builder and client.
Contracts show clients you run a professional, trustworthy business. They set out exactly what’s been agreed, help avoid misunderstandings, give everyone peace of mind, and provide a fair basis to resolve any issues.
We offer versions for domestic and commercial projects in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All templates have been updated to comply with the Building Safety Act where applicable and are free for FMB members to download.
Using an FMB contract shows you take your work seriously – so make sure you use one for every project.

FMB competence statements
The Building Safety Act 2022 requires Principal Contractors to only take on work that they are competent to carry out.
To help you meet this duty, we have created simple competence statements, available exclusively for members. These forms give you a clear way to show that you and your team are qualified to manage and deliver the work. They also reassure clients, encourage higher standards across the industry, and demonstrate your commitment to safe, professional building.
Visit this page to download the statements and find clear guidance on how to complete them. They are designed to be used alongside our new contracts and quotation templates, giving you a consistent, professional set of documents to share with clients.
Builder's quote template
The Builder’s quote template sets out exactly what clients need to see in a quote, so everyone knows what to expect.
It’s designed for clear, professional quotes that avoid confusion - breaking down labour, materials, costs and timelines, specifying payment terms, and showing what’s included and what isn’t.
Using this quote template helps you look organised, build trust, and win more work without surprises for either side.
